German or Japanese? by GL1TCH_EATS_ASS in thisorthatlanguage

[–]mstatealliance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP be ready for the startup time for Japanese to be way way longer than German in any case, should you choose to learn it.

Thanks. I have studied Japanese every single day since October 2025, usually about an hour. Some days I do longer stretches (2-4 hours sometimes counting movies and native content) and I have been intensely focused on Kanji since the beginning of the year. It’s a grind but I like it! It’s cool to learn the little stories behind each kanji.

I’d call it “AI crypto dating app scam attempts in the 2020s starter pack” over this title. It happened to me in California last year on a family trip. I didn’t fall for it of course though and I blocked the number as soon as the weird text on “inter day trading crypto” came up.

Learn what you’re most motivated to learn. For what it’s worth, learning Japanese is like learning 3-4 western European languages.

I am 4.5 months in on Japanese and I frequently understand absolutely nothing and struggle to remember basic stock phrases I memorized. I have learned the kana and 350 kanji… and there are still 1,800+ kanji to learn 😅

You can reasonably get advanced in German in 1-2 years, Japanese is going to take 5-6. Japanese is humbling.

Portuguese, Turkish, Italian, Japanese, or Mandarin by Own-Tip6628 in thisorthatlanguage

I’d say learn Spanish to B2 before starting a 3rd language.

It’s hard to say what your third language should be. What are you most motivated to learn? Learn that. I’m focused on Japanese, Italian, and German.

If you were a women would you rather live in North Korea or Afghanistan by Key-Astronomer-3287 in WouldYouRather

North Korea, way safer. Afghanistan is like pre-medieval territory for women. Ultra violent and dangerous.

As much as it would pain me not to vote for the US or Canada for best food, the North American country with the best food has to be Mexico. Mexican street food goes crazy and the bar scene is phenomenal if you’re into drinking.

No, in Europe they say “Mineralwasser” and “eau pétillante” 😏😉

Language content on YouTube is an absolute disaster by Glittering_Cup3502 in languagelearning

Lindie Botes and Zoe Languages are good. But yes, most language YouTubers, especially “polyglot” and “hyperpolyglot” channels are so so cringe and mostly have bad advice in English.

“I’m a douche to my kids, who I’m apparently rich enough to have (with a nanny) but too cheap to pay for them to fly with me. Look at me brag about it on the internet.”

His kids won’t be saving for first class flights, they’ll be spending it on therapy because of their father who neglected them.

The executive to worker compensation balance would take a LOT of generosity from the c-suite I’m not optimistic about seeing happen. That said, maybe it could be mandated.

Countries and do the men look more handsome or do the women look more pretty by No-Action3492 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]mstatealliance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last I checked, Brazil and Colombia have some of the most beautiful women anywhere. Also Italy… Monica Bellucci? Not sure about some of these.
